About this listen

Curious? This thought-provoking and original novel blends humor, philosophy, science, and history into a captivating story that celebrates the beautiful mess of being human. A novel that promises to touch your heart, make you laugh, and leave you thinking.

Edward, a once-successful CEO, seemingly had it all. But his world crumbles before his eyes as he faces divorce, joblessness, and financial ruin—and that’s just the beginning. As Edward tries to rebuild his life and care for his young daughter, he encounters hilarious challenges of his own making. His Human Machine rarely functions as expected, leading to both comedic and profound moments. Amidst this chaos, Edward grapples with the big issues in life, from the mysteries of our existence to the major social challenges facing humanity. Struggling with his inability to find a way out of the disastrous mess of his own making, he stumbles upon an idea that could change everything.

Wonderful Storytelling That Transports You and Makes You Think

I loved the narrator—Rupert Degas is brilliant. Curious is truly original, unlike anything else I’ve listened to. The storytelling is engaging, and the characters are incredibly relatable. Set in Sydney, the book brings the city to life and left me wanting to visit. What surprised me most is how thought-provoking it is. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and even found myself discussing it with friends—very Curious indeed!
